Average Silly Dude

Finally trying my hand at illustrating the several pages worth of headcanons I have for these guys- (Nerding session alert)

I like to think of Star Children as very similar to stars in a physiological level. They're basically nuclear fusion reactors shaped like people, with an extremely dense (and hot, VERY hot) core that generates and burns energy at the same rate, resulting in their self-sufficiency and immortality.

In order to talk with one another in the vacuum of space, star folk use bursts of light and radio waves, which they create by changing their core's electromagnetic fields.

Their written language is possible to learn, but their spoken language is a mixture of waves, heat and gestures that a human cannot detect without equipment. On the other hand, since sound does not propagate in space, they generally do not hear very well.

Though it's usually a voluntary action, it can happen as an instinct/reflex, their "alarm call" is a sudden, sharp, high frequency burst.

Oh, and alsooo

@luonnon-varainen Your tags made my whole week you have NO idea <333

And yes they do! Different wavelengths show, but are not limited to, different emotions and overall physical/mental state.

A healthy and happy star will normally glow a gentle yellow
